I've read some threads on issues with the Torque Converter issues, and I agree with Rollin.Had flashing D light while driving and then vehicle would not drive and felt like it was in neutral even though it was still in drive also had a smell tranny fluid; had to have towed to my mechanic; any thoughts?
Also read the SMOD issues which I referenced above.If you don't see any fluid leaking on the floor, and the level is normal, the fluid may be contaminated with coolant from a failed heat exchanger in the radiator.
Low or contaminated fluid are the most common reasons it will overheat.
Otherwise, something failed internally in the transmission.
I'd have the mechanic check the system with a "Code Reader". There are some threads where the A/F Sensors (Upper O2 Sensors) have failed and caused catalytic converter failure, but there are some very specific codes when this happens.Thanks for help. Added some tranny fluid light still on. Sending it to mechanic. While there having radiator done, Flush tranny, and Spark plugs. Any other recommendations?
You are never supposed to power flush a Honda transmission. Drain and fills only. Or, you can use the truck's internal pump to pump out old fluid and suck in new fluid.Thanks for help.

I had my transmission fluid changed while on a road trip in Ohio. It was done at an actual Honda Dealership. They were recommending a Flush. I told them no because...my regular "Honda guy" told me not to ever do that.You are never supposed to power flush a Honda transmission. Drain and fills only.

Glad it all worked out. Whatever was gumming up one of those pressure solenoids must have been cleaned out by the new fluid. These trucks can be a bit persnickety sometimes.yeah misspoke meant drain tranny. But added a little tranny fluid due to it being low and the light stopped blinking. it would do it intermittingly for a day or so but now doesn't seem to blink anymore. will still have mechanic check it out.
